[Chorus]
F Am/E Dm Here, son, I’m handing over to you
C G Don’t crash the ambulance,
E Am whatever you do [Interlude]

Am What we have here’s a dung hole
E place, thought it was fly shit on the map
E Am Fat bastard, ugly face, and
Am/G the personal crap

Dm Dm/C can’t mess with oil and gas
Dm/B Had to go down there, stick a
E couple, aircraft carriers in his ass [Bridge]

Am Am/G all in here for all the gigs
F E Am Gas mask, bullet-proof vest,

E Am for attracting attention [Interlude]

Dm Dm/C not like you or me
Dm/B That one’s the whole shooting match

Am Am/G and pack the biggest gun
F Am/E Dm We don’t like accidents,
Dm/C major or minor
C You don’t want yourself an
E incident, don’t ever invade China [Chorus]
F Am/E Dm Here, son, I’m handing over to you
C G E Don’t crash the ambulance
F Am/E Dm Here, son, I’m handing over to you
C G E Don’t crash the ambulance,
Am whatever you do [Other]
